Ok, so I figured I would create a new thread on this. We have plenty of needs, but also only so much ammunition to cover them all. My question is this: where should we address each position of need as listed below, Free Agency, Draft, or Trade?

I want us to spend to get playmakers for CB especially. I would be fine with the top two targets being 2 of the top CBs for free agency. Of course Gilmore and Bouye would be expensive, but that is an incredible do on would provide the talent influx we need to make a major jump on defense, plus remove the need in the draft for it. Then Fuller competes at safety, so there is talent added there as well._________________2013 Kyle Long Rookie of the Year Award

I think we can overpay for one corner, but I can't see us landing two unfortunately. Suppose we get Bouye...

Doesn't this depend almost entirely on how the free agent market and draft pan out?

I mean, what if Watson/Trubisky are both gone by pick 3 and Kaaya, Kizer, and Mahomes are gone by pick 35? What if there's a sudden bidding war for free agent CBs while good DL are available for cheap?

If Watson and Trubisky are gone by 3 then we get the best player in the draft, or someone trades the farm for him and we can drop a few picks to grab Kizer + more.
